Chapter 106: with translation of chapter title

Although dissatisfied, the Zhou family is after all a prominent clan, so Lu Mu could only stand aside and smile.

That smile was even worse than a crying expression, causing Su Yun Jiao to slightly curl the corner of her mouth.

Being able to give this old lady a heart attack is also quite good.

"Tingting, class monitor, let's go inside to talk."

"Okay."

Zhou Tingting originally intended to go inside and talk with Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao greeted Zhou Xian and Zhou Tingting to go inside, and throughout did not speak to Lu Mu again.

Lu Mu immediately felt she couldn't save face.

This Su Yun Jiao!

Does she not know any courtesy at all?

After only a few days by Lu Jingqing's side, she had completely forgotten that she had taken care of Su Yun Jiao for several months.

Lu Mu swallowed a breath; even though dissatisfied, she could only swallow her dissatisfaction at the moment.

Once Su Yun Jiao becomes their Lu family's daughter-in-law, she will have plenty of ways to earn back this resentment.

"Mom, what are you doing? They're all classmates; what you just said is easily misunderstood."

Lu Chi also felt his mother had just been a bit over the top.

Lu Mu, however, glared at Lu Chi and said, "What do you know? Stop lecturing me here; I told you to greet Su Yun Jiao just now—what are you doing? I'll settle accounts with you when we get back! Come in!"

Lu Chi said nothing, but chose to follow Lu Mu inside.

Today many people came to Su Yun Jiao's coming-of-age ceremony, all of whom are well-known figures in the industry.

Only upon arriving at the banquet hall did Zhou Tingting realize that the scale of this banquet was not ordinary.

"Brother Jingqing is really impressive; these people normally can't even be invited, and I never expected he'd have such great ability."

"Is it that impressive?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Tingting earnestly said to Su Yun Jiao, "Just the few people I saw earlier are all very famous; meeting the president is casual, and there are many business activities daily—billionaires and hundred-millionaires are nothing special."

After saying that, Zhou Tingting looked at Su Yun Jiao with a more scrutinizing gaze and said, "I really didn't expect you to be this capable; from now on I'll have to look at you with new eyes."

Su Yun Jiao also hadn't expected that Lu Jingqing would have put so much thought into this coming-of-age ceremony.

"Reporters, huh—these are from Entertainment Weekly, that one seems to be from the news agency; you're just becoming an adult, why are there so many reporters?"

Zhou Tingting was like she had discovered a new continent.

Because just now, reporters basically filed in one after another.

This directly shows how many entertainment reporters came this time.

Zhou Tingting sucked in a breath of cold air.

She didn't realize that Su Yun Jiao's coming-of-age ceremony could actually bring out so many notable figures all at once.

"It seems the Lu family places great importance on this coming-of-age ceremony."

Zhou Xian's face showed a faint smile, obviously having seen through the underlying interests involved.

Su Yun Jiao, however, could only feign ignorance in front of the two, saying, "Just a coincidence, really nothing much."

"That's not nothing; you're being too modest."

At least Zhou Tingting has attended many big and small banquets, but only Su Yun Jiao's coming-of-age invitation list is the largest, and the scale is also the greatest.

This certainly doesn't look like "nothing at all."

"Eat cake; the cake isn't bad either."

Su Yun Jiao didn't know how to stop Zhou Tingting's mouth, so she simply placed a piece of cake in front of her.

Zhou Tingting didn't see it clearly, but upon seeing the mark on it, she was even more stunned: "A cake that costs over three thousand each, you guys have a buffet here?"

"Huh?"

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head; she didn't recognize those many brands, so she also didn't know how much the cake Zhou Tingting mentioned actually cost.

When she heard Zhou Tingting say the cake costs over three thousand each, Su Yun Jiao was even more dumbfounded.

"What is this?"

"Is it a gold cake?"

"This is too exaggerated."

"Su Yun Jiao, your Brother Jingqing really treats you well; just the cakes alone for the whole event cost several hundred thousand."

"Not just that."

Zhou Xian said, "All the French desserts here are made fresh by masters, and presumably a professional team was hired; including the banquet's Chinese and Western dishes, all are top-tier chefs; the Huangjia Jiudian banquet hall alone costs at least fifty thousand for one night, and ordinary people can't even book it; with the chauffeured transport for those celebrities and special services, this event should cost around a thousand thousand."

"A thousand?"

"Ten million?"

Su Yun Jiao had never imagined before that Lu Jingqing would actually go to such great lengths to make a show.

This way, wouldn't I owe Lu Jingqing a huge favor?

Realizing this, Su Yun Jiao immediately looked toward Lu Jingqing, who was not far away chatting with someone.

Lu Jingqing chatted and laughed easily, not taking that ten million to heart at all.

Zhou Tingting said, "If I had a brother this good, that would be nice; unfortunately, my coming-of-age ceremony is long over."

"Tingting, your brother I am still standing here."

At Zhou Tingting's coming-of-age ceremony, although they also held a banquet, its scale was far from being as large as Su Yun Jiao's.

At that moment, Lu Jingqing waved at Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao obediently walked over to Lu Jingqing.

When she saw that the person standing before her was the president of Hai Da, Su Yun Jiao was also stunned.

"Greet President Wang."

"Hello, President Wang."

Su Yun Jiao extended a hand, but President Wang felt overwhelmed by the honor: "Hello, Miss Su! Miss Su, you don't need to be so polite! If it weren't for Boss Lu this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come here to see this."

President Wang clasped both hands with Su Yun Jiao, which is already considered the utmost gesture of humility.

Su Yun Jiao was somewhat surprised, but Lu Jingqing beside her thought such a thing was ordinary.

He gestured with his eyes for Su Yun Jiao to relax.

Su Yun Jiao could only nod, then said to President Wang: "President Wang, you're being too polite; I will also strive to get into our school."

"No, no, no; if Miss Su can come to our school, that would certainly be our honor."

President Wang happily said: "Miss Su, when you fill out your application today, you must definitely list us; if Miss Su wishes to pursue further studies abroad, our school's Music Department also has long-term cooperation with renowned overseas institutions."

"The Music Department?"

Su Yun Jiao stared blankly for a moment.

Shouldn't Hai Da's most renowned department be the Finance Department?

Su Yun Jiao glanced back at Lu Jingqing, but Lu Jingqing didn't agree and said to President Wang: "Jiao Jiao still needs to get familiar with the campus; President Wang, you may do as you please."

"Yes, yes."

After President Wang gave a respectful greeting, he went to a nearby place.

Su Yun Jiao never expected that even the president of Hai Da would be so courteous toward Lu Jingqing.
